Old Balled Together Socks
One day when we moved furniture, we uncovered Sophie's nest of all of her favorite little things.  There were ponytail holders and scrunchies she had stolen off bathroom counters, acorns from the Thanksgiving cornucopia, and sweet gumballs carried in from outside.
Orlan has stolen a pair of balled together socks out of a stack of freshly folded clothes.  Of course, when he was about 9 months old, he stole a whole loaf of French bread off the kitchen counter and carried it through the kitchen and across the entire length of a large 1970s ranch style living and dining room onto the first step of the stairs in the foyer.

Last night I made stuffed mirlitons (chayote in the grocery store) for the first time.  They turned out incredibly delicious!
Now, I just need to talk my brother-in-law into growing them . . .  They are pretty expensive in the grocery stores here, but grow like weeds in New Orleans.
